My girlfriend and I finished up our confined dives and class work on Friday...everything went well. We had lots of play time in the pool and we concentrating on bouyancy. At the beginning of our play time we had a rough time with hovering, but with me, it just clicked after about 10 minutes of practicing. I was hovering using my breathing to control my position in the water and at the same time, I was thinking..holy #$%^ this is sooo neat. I was hovering for quite a long time..enough so to stop because I was getting kind of bored. My girlfriend had a rough time, but the assistant instructor and I helped her out with it and she got it down.
We are doing our open water in a quarry this upcoming Saturday, I think 23 ft down on a platform. Our instructor went over what we are going to be doing and all that good stuff. This week is going to take soo long for me. Is it Saturday yet?
Friday we are going to our LDS to play around in our wetsuit for the first time...this is going to be in a heated pool...she has a 7mm and I have a 6.5mm suit...that should be kind of toasty dont you think? I hope its not too funny feeling....it was pretty tight when I tried it on, but it didnt restrict my breathing.
Anyways, I know alot of you have answered my questions on this board and I just wanted to let you know that everything is going great...we are going to plan a dive with our LDS in Lake Michigan in September and also continue our edumacation.
Thanks,
Jason
